My Experience with DHD Films - Production Assistant DHD Films Employee Review

One of the best things about working at DHD Films is how much the leadership genuinely wants every team member to grow—not just in their role, but in their career. There's a positive outlook on performance management here; it's not about catching mistakes, it's about recognizing strengths and finding ways to elevate your work. We're encouraged to bring new ideas to the table—whether it's a new technique, strategy, piece of software, or something experimental. A great example of this is when leadership sent our team to an AI film festival in Austin, TX. It wasn’t just a fun trip—they saw it as a way to explore how AI can shape the future of storytelling and how we might integrate it into our work. That level of forward thinking is rare and appreciated. Collaboration is also a big win here. Everyone’s input matters, and creative ideas are heard and supported.

Fast-paced environment may not suit everyone Project timelines can be tight during peak seasons

Competitive pay, fun environment, good people to work with for the most part

Poor leadership, poor decision making, fiscally irresponsible, cult-like atmosphere centered on being "all in", staggering favoritism of poorly performing employees, poor hiring and retention practices, high turnover, tendency to overwork employees, overabundance of time wasting meetings, under qualified middle management, rapidly shifting company objectives that usually conflict with one another, poorly developed vision for the future.
